'Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.' —Henry Ford via Momentum

PLAYERS: Just because you work harder than someone else doesn't mean you'll win, get more playing time, be praised, get attention, or achieve your individual goals. But not working hard makes those things nearly impossible in the long run. Be consistent and don't give up.

I’m not used to working out with no goal or to be honest - no championship in my mind. This is super weird.

I’ll forever stand on this…. Connecting with your players is WAY more important than X’s and O’s. You’ll be surprised how much a player grows and how confident they play when they coach can speak they language.

Well said!

FYI:

You do NOT have to score a single point to impact the game.

You do NOT have to score a touchdown/goal to impact the game.

The BEST teams have players that are not focused on scoring and more focused on doing WHATEVER it takes to win!

COACHES → Each time you allow yourself to PAUSE and have a focused INVESTMENT in a player’s improvement or care with a word of encouragement, a drill, a refinement or emphasis, or some other “specific to that player” value add — it’s a Win-WIN!

The player is positively…

Body language is a form of communication. Communication is an important skill. We’re all human which involves emotion, but we can practice how we can control & express our emotions. Showing emotion is ok, but learning to do it in the right way is essential for maturity & growth!

Young hooper… Don’t panic, just stay consistent & remember control what you can control. What’s for you is otw, your journey is different. #StayLocked ✌🏾

A weakness when understood can become a strength, but the overextension of a strength can become a weakness.

Your BODY LANGUAGE is a walking billboard & tells your story.

Walk tall. Shoulders back. Chin up & chest out. Make eye contact. Stay present.

Speak WINNING w/ your body language.

Messages for young coaches:

Servant-leaders in the making, are first unknown, unseen, unappreciated, and unapplauded. In the quiet context of obscurity, character is built. Strange as it may seem, those who first accept the silence of obscurity are best qualified to handle the…

COACHES — Being connected with your players is greatly beneficial and takes intentionality. Want a BETTER CONNECTION with a player?

Affirm their actions! Validate them! Acknowledge every right thing they execute that they’ve been coached to do.

Be authentic — they’re keenly…
